Hi,

I want to be able to setup any form of linux mail server. But I want MS Outlook 2003 to think its an exchange server,

Is that possible in any way?

The other issue is that the mail server would need some sort of POP3 Connector to download e-mail from my ISP Mail Servers. That way I wont lose e-mail when I have the regular and frequently annoying powercuts.

Is That Do able?

I currently have exchange implemented but occasionally it stops downloading e-mail through my linux firewall but i think thats the way i have my network setup :P

Can anyone help,

Many Thanks,

BlackFish

If you mean you need clients to have Calendar, tasks, etc, etc then use your favourite search engine and look for "linux exchange alternative", or check Freshmeat.net and Sourceforge.net.

Fetchmail?

Perusing logfiles and doing a wee bit of network diagnostics should show. Troubleshooting anything from that particular vendor should be in a new thread in the /General forum though, not this one.

Kind of unrelated ... but the reason it may stop downloading is because Exchange cannot be "nat'd". Are you using nat? If so, MS Exchange has the tendancy to have communications issues (at least, ive seen this in 2003, not sure about other versions). Just a heads-up ...
